plumbing - Stop tap has no effect on water flow - Home Improvement Stack Exchange


i dealing fixture in photo. there 2 water inlets, 1 washing machine, , 1 dish washer. bottom valve opens , closes water flow to bottom pipe. however, top valve seems have no effect whether open or closed , nothing drip comes out of top pipe. working few days ago until shut off top valve fit new dishwasher.

the turning mechanism of top valve seems light , thinking perhaps have broken loose valve valve shut regardless of position of handle. feasible?

would appreciate pointers regarding waterflow problem , how resolve.

thanks.

top tap not affect water flow

it's possible valve has failed or blocking it. @ point, best bet turn off water upstream , remove valve. watch might have come loose somewhere , clogged up. should able shine flashlight in 1 end , see light looking in other. when valve open, see light, , closing valve darkens side opposite flashlight. if moving valve has no effect, benefit replacing it.
